Hey, I said that too. :unsure:Viewliner said:So its probably safe to say that no sleeper is really better than the other.

Oops, sorry Viewliner. That was on the other page, so I didn't remember it.Viewliner said:Hey, I said that too. :unsure:Viewliner said:So its probably safe to say that no sleeper is really better than the other.
And that is the truth. Nothing is perfect.Viewliner said:Thats ok, but that's the truth, after all, nothing is perfect in life.
Alan, I'm counting on you not to let that happen. :lol:When a computer can build itself, program itself, and enter its own data, then and only then will it be perfect. Of course the problem then would be, that it could decide that it doesn't need us, much like the premise of the Terminator movie.
Amtrak will sell handicap accessible rooms to non-accessible passengers if the rooms are not booked within 2 weeks prior to departure. Depending on your ability to tolerate noise and motion, I do not like being over the truck and prefer to have rooms 1, 3, or 5 when traveling in a Viewliner as you can't sleep facing forward in the even rooms.Well according to Amtrak rules, technically you are not supposed to be in room H unless you are handicapped, although exceptions are made.
Amfleet is correct that anyone can buy the handicapped room, if it isn't sold.Amfleet said:Amtrak will sell handicap accessible rooms to non-accessible passengers if the rooms are not booked within 2 weeks prior to departure.

The above quote can be found on Amtrak's website here. Even a conductor can sell that room on board to a non-handicapped person if it is empty. If a conductor tells you otherwise then he is either mis-informed or just being lazy and not wanting to deal with the paper work.We want to ensure that our accessible bedrooms are available to passengers who need them. So we give certified mobility-impaired guests exclusive booking rights for these rooms until 14 days before departure.
I'm about 170 pounds, so I like having the extra room in the wider seat and rather sit facing forward. I also found the video system to be somewhat poor and I can watch movies on my laptop anyway.Amfleet, Oddly enough I prefer the even rooms and not the odd numbered rooms. I don't really care which way I sleep, feet first in the odd numbers or head first in the even numbers. However, in the even rooms I can sit facing forward and look out the window, while still glancing at the TV if I like. In the odd rooms I'm sitting backwards if I want to watch the TV. This of course assumes that Amtrak has orientated the sleeper with the deluxe bedrooms at the head end. Generally they do this, although I have hit a few sleepers that were orientated the other way.
